Structural evolution and bandgap modification of a robust mixed-valence compound Eu9MgS2B20O41 under pressure

The recently discovered mixed-valence compound Eu9MgS2B20O41 is composed of triple-kagomé-layers separated by nonmagnetic Mg2+ ions, and intervalence charge transfer has been observed in the mixed Eu2+ and Eu3+ ions within the kagomé layers, exhibiting similar characteristics typical of a quantum spin liquid. In this study, high-pressure in situ x-ray diffraction measurements on Eu9MgS2B20O41 were conducted […]
